Program descriptionCome study in Costa Rica, Central America’s

most vibrant and stable country, and experience the “Pura Vida” or “pure life,” a “tico” way to sum up all that a Costa Rican immersion program offers students and

“green-minded” visitors. Improve your communication skills and deepen your understanding of Costa Rica’s culture

and unique history.

The Instituto de Lengua y Cultura Costarricense (ILCC) hosts the program in Carillos, a town 30 miles from the capital, San José. It provides

home stay with carefully selected local families, a safe learning environment, a combination of intensive small-size language and culture classes, lectures by local scholars as well as field trips to sustainable rural community projects and

to the Monteverde protected rain/cloud forest.

Available courses Study any of the three levels of Spanish offered – elementary, intermediate or

advanced conversation and composition.
